Well the only advice I can give is to have your transit visa ready even if your flight touches Aussie soil regardless of duration....if its 1 min or couple of hours. My learning lesson has been quite bitter but anyone flying through Australia.....read their visa requirement section & if possible drop a call to nearest Aus embassy.
